How to Not Stall a Manual Car - Clutch Control Tips and Tricks
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 พ.ค. 2017
- Stalling your car, whether it's petrol or diesel, is a concern that almost every new or young driver has when they're first learning to drive, about to take their test or even if they're a little rusty after not driving for a while.
The main ideas with clutch control are patience and sensitivity. When you set the throttle at a certain RPM you'll want to hold the biting point of the clutch and wait until you feel your car moving before releasing the clutch completely!
Good luck on your journey of learning to drive, drive safe!
Cheers,
Alex.

4,000 revs and dump the clutch
Fifacrazy4 Pu££y 8,000 revs and dump the clutch
my car only goes to 7,000 lol
6k and a big grin on your face
Me and Payne tried to get my Skoda Citigo to wheel spin at 4.5k revs, found out you can't turn off the TC :''''(
We should have filmed the Citigo skids
That feeling when the car moves without stalling or jerking is the best feeling ever when in a driving school. You just wish there was a crowd of people to clap for you for that achievement. 😂😂😂😂
So true 😂😂
😂😂😂 i could not agree more
I even want to tell this to someone but its a bit wothless because it only make sense to me
Ill clap for you good job guys👏👏👏👍

Alternative title: how not to piss off your driving instructor.
hahahahaha
My dad gets soooo pissed he just hops out of the car although it’s only been 2 days since I started
@@AliKhan-vn2hv He needs to be more patient. Driving a car isn't as simple as freaking walking.
I have very nice instructor who didn't got angry or said anything just gave me bad look now I'm trying not to make same mistake again
So true 😂😂😂
I'm good at changing the gears when going. I just suck at starting.
Same
Same
Me too :^( and I’ve been driving it for a long time
Same especially uphill
Same man, my starts are really slow.
Bro driving a manuel is like a ritual preparation.
_Okay now you gotta feel the pedal on a _*_SPIRRITUAL LEVEL_*_ therefore understanding how to please it and that then it will bite you so you give it the gas and a love story appears_
Sorry i got carried away.
Haha this actually made me laugh. Nice one. It's really quite easy after like half an hour of messing around
😂😂 felt like i was reading a romance novel
Ritual indeed 😅
The clutch always betrays me
This is so accurate wtf
This was very helpful. i was taught in a diesel,bought a petrol. i drove home from work today for the first time on my own and stalled 8 times, 4 times on a steep hill start busy 4 way junction with a queue of traffic behind me and a driver right up my back.
was really scary.
Robot Raptor shit driver then lad
Same happend to me :D In school I was driving a diesel but my first car was petrol and I had to drive it alone to the home. It was kinda scary :D
Made me laugh. I'd be scared as a new driver in a hill seeing a nice expensive car behind me.
I hear you. Drove a Diesel manual for a long time, then drove a petrol manual and stalled many times to begin with. Is a big difference and takes getting used to
Ur not the only one
I passed my driving test last year but I still like watching these types of videos 😂😂😂😂😂
Well my country is trying to ban diesel and I drive diesel, never tried petrol car
But is it really just because you LIKE watching them ? that is the question...
@@tarasov9794 u implying he still can't shift gears good? LMAo
@@devonterawlins5519 It's a humorous rhethorical question, not to be viewed too seriously. (S)he may be good at gear shifting, but one could always become better, thus, me implying (s)he isn't good is not a unique interpretation (for what it's worth (s)he may like watching the guy himself, not the gear shifing). I myself am still learning how to drive, so I'm not the guy to lecture anyone frankly, which I don't do in any event. Hope this clarifies.
American driving instructors don't even know what a manual is. When you stall here, people look at you like you're crazy
I was taught diesel, I pretty much never stalled and I was more or less a confident driver. My first car was a petrol, and the second time driving it I was at a junction with a pretty steep slope and a pissed off taxi driver beeping his horn constantly behind me. After around my 5th stall he finally went to go around me and as he passed he shouted "learn how to fucking drive". It was a pretty traumatic experience to say the least! moral of the story, petrol cars are much harder to master and taxi drivers are bellends😂😂
I'm learning at my driving school with petrol but I practice at home with diesel really confuses me
I had my father sitting next to me in the car while driving.. he was supposed to watch me and guide. Whenever I stalled he would scold me and disowned me immediately 😁😁
@@hemanthbt same uggghh😔
@@odozie4057 😊🙌
🤣🤣🤣🤣
got a shit ton of scolding today from my instructor so im here
Instructors who just have a go at you have a good chance of just not being very good 😂
Same here. My instructor been facepalming every time I stall the car on the start.
Paynos thank u i got my license
Dante's Inferno u can do it! 😄
I stall everyday and my instructor will kill me really soon😁😁😁
Using a manual transmission.
1. Inertia is your friend.
2. You're not racing, once you're moving, you have plenty of time to shift.
3. The hand brake is your friend when learning to hill start.
4. Engage clutch rapidly, release slowly.
With practice, your speed will increase and you won't need to use the hand brake for hill starting.
Hill starting
1. Engage the hand brake to hold the vehicle. This means you don't have to worry about rapidly moving your right foot from the brake to the accelerator.
2. Release the foot brake and press on the accelerator.
3. Slowly release the clutch until you feel the vehicle attempt to move forward
4. Release the hand brake
5. Continue to release the clutch and increase the accelerator.
And as mentioned, with practice, the time it takes from releasing the foot brake to moving forward on a hill start will drop to the point where you won't need to use the hand brake and inertia will be enough to hold the vehicle in place while starting out.
John Cochran very useful. Not releasing the clutch slowly is the mistake I’m making as a beginner atm. Especially in traffic you don’t want to hold anyone up and you put a lot of pressure on yourself to not stall it lol
for me ut seem much harder using the gand brake. my issue is i have heavy feet. i always over rev and lauch the car on hills. clutch control is the key but ifnu come from a auto family it fwels impossible. i dont know how ppl drive manuel. huh lol
lol I'm one of those learners that lift my entire leg 😂😭
Adell Baker Same lol
thats what i was taught :/
im glad i came across this video. i thought it was a crime to clutch with your heel on the floor.
Adell Baker samee
Me too, i used to get leg cramps the first few times i was driving haha.
Im such a bad driver I stall my automatic
How the fuck
lol......the funniest thing I heard in a very long time. How de hell do you stall an Automatic....hah...aa
It’s impossible to stall an automatic lol
Lol your automatic car really needs maintenance.
😂 I guess you didn’t understand what stall means
passed my test 7 years ago. you've just taught me more than my instructor
I'm a crash survivor and I just passed my driver's test on the first try after a few lessons and watching ample of your videos. Now to build the confidence to drive by myself😊
Tholiwe Mbatha I know how traumatic that can be congratulations man. Stay in the slow lane if you have too but you’ll be fine I’m sure :)
Sorry shandu mina I'm scared to go to driving because I lack confidence
@@thembahlatshwayo8156 they say that you build the confidence from doing more of the driving. 2 years after and I’m driving like a veteran :D, give yourself time and take it slow as you need to
Thank you so much Shandu your words have really touched me God bless you and stay safe
@@thembahlatshwayo8156u. N nb. Mm b m
4:50 This is why I'm thankful for tutorial videos. My parents are both great drivers, but neither one of them told me I wasn't supposed to lift my whole leg when using the clutch, probably because they couldn't see what my leg was doing while they sat in the passenger seat. No wonder I keep stalling so much (besides the fact I've only been practicing a couple days), I'm releasing the clutch too fast.
It's something so simple but I never remember anyone telling me before my first time driving a manual either!
Honestly if you release the clutch too fast you could feel the change release it slowly while still pressing the gas
I drove for the first time the other day.. stalled. I had no idea what I was doing, this is literally a life saver, cheers!
TheMajestic Lemur shit driver then
I’m so paranoid about stalling that I overrev before the friction point
dump the clutch at that point bruv
same
bit sometimes if u have a newer car like from 04 and up
these cars have drive by wire which has a slight delay aftwr u hit the throttle. meaning it will start to move a xouple3secs after pressing gas. so its easy to miss the time and pull off clutch too early thinking the car was gonna move as soon as u hit the gas.
@@omarG19100 That is news to me. Thanks. I think I got to know no ow where I was wrong.
But then my doubt remains: should I keep gently pressed the accelerator while the car produces that sound while I am at that biting point while on hill steep drive. The fear always is should I release the clutch 0.25 inch every one second. Fear of stalling
Same same hahahah i panicked and scream so much
I’ve only just discovered this video but it’s really helped after a rather scary and embarrassing set of stalls at some traffic lights on the way back from work today. Thank you!
heel on the floor. LOL. I literally cant do that, my feet/ankles dont have the correct maneuverability to do it. My feet hovver but it gets me by.
I passed yesterday, and everything you said is bang on. DO NOT RUSH! That was my downfall as a learner was I was trying to hurry out of a situation and it just messed the car up.
Hi woollen hat - that is a great comment. Yes, too often new drivers feel pressure by other drivers to hurry. As you said, you have to focus on what you're doing, take a breath and make the right choice. Some times that means stopping. And yes, when learning to drive standard you can't always put your heel on the floor. Thus, it's important to isolate the clutch and learn clutch control before adding the throttle. All the best, Cheers Rick
I've been doing lessons since last year still do a few faults with the instructors car but improving got practical in December what ever it takes to improve keep at it don't rush
The thing is, I don't want to rush, but the people on queue behind me sure don't like it when I take my time, which results in panic.
joKeR You can go fast but theres a limit or you gonna stall.
You're cute
Thought you was drunk but realized I had the speed of the video at 0.75 XD
Lmao 🤣 🤣
Oblivifrek 😂
@0.75 Dude drinks five pints at the pub, tells a loud bird to STFU, and proceeds to teach us how to drive drunk a
@0.5 Dude drinks a fifth of liquor--describes the proper way to drop the clutch for 8 minutes. And drives around town incredibly slow.
The bird being really loud doesn't help 😆
I’m dead 🤣🤣😂
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you, sooooo much. This video alone taught me everything I was doing wrong while driving manual, and how to do it right. I hated driving my car because I always stalled, and now I love it more and more everyday. Thank you thank you thank you!
Just started doing the “dig the heel in while releasing the clutch” works great thanks for the tip!
How to not stall a vehicle:
1. Practice
2. Practice
3. Practice
Hope this helps😁😂
I bought my first manual on holiday. Brz. Practiced the whole day and was ready to work in traffic the next day. Oh man the stalling tho
my dad has been driving for over 30 years and still manages to stall the car
You do make a good point.
Stefan Radu ahhh how?
Yeah and the you practice to the point until you wear out the clutch
Thank you so much! That trick holding the clutch at the biting point helped alot. Nobody ever said that trick to me. I have always releasing it slowly and havent kept it at the biting point and it stalled every time. I was asking myself wtf is wrong with me unless I saw this video. Man thank you so much!!! keep it up! ly
Hows the driving now?
Hows the driving now
How's the driving now
Everyones saying im driving like a pro 😂
hows the driving now?
You're a top lad! Thanks for giving people more of the spin they need for day-to-day. As you've heard, it's really vital for learning/newly licensed people transitioning from diesel to petrol. Holding it at the bite for a few secs before bringing it up as you said really helped me!
I had so many issues when I first bought my manual. After a I drove with a good friend I learn a truck that helped me more than anything. KEEP YOUR HEEL TO THE FLOOR. I used to use my entire leg. I didn't have very good control and would stale more often than not. Once I was able to keep my heel to the ground I found I stalled less.
Thank you for this
This man is a good trainer when I first started I used my whole leg with the clutch and I stall it all the time 😆. That's one thing my dad did nt explain his like release slowly I am like Iam and I had cramp for days.
Thank you so much for this video, I'm on my 8th lesson and I've been religiously watching your videos and I think they have helped tremendously
Great series of videos dude, you know your stuff. Well done 👍
3:47 The few seconds after turned my driving experience from hell to heaven, thank you sir!
You explain it so well, seeing your foot movement and placement definitely helps too, thanks man!
I can upshift once I’m going and I can slow down/downshift decently but starting without stalling always sucked and even when I got it into first and started moving it was a slow process. Your tip on getting the revs up before the bite point helped out a lot and no other video seemed to mention that. Thanks a lot man!
Thank you! I love your videos. I have a driving lesson tomorrow so watching your videos is like a last minute prep for me haha. I struggle with this problem and always get scolded by my instructor whenever i stall my car. I find it especially difficult whenever i wanna reverse really really slowly for parallel parking because that's when the car will usually stutter and stall. so hopefully tomorrow I'll do much better. (whenever i get scolded i always wish that i am learning how to ride a horse instead or maybe i should just drive an auto or maybe i shouldn't be such a noob haha)
Glad you mentioned about petrol vs. diesel in terms of stalling because a lot of driving instructors have a diesel car (eww) for their learners and actually teach them to pull away using no throttle, just feeding the clutch out! Ridiculous really because the learner's first car will almost certainly be a small hatchback with a 1.2 or 1.4 L petrol engine and what's the first thing they're going to do when they pull away? You guessed it, stall and potentially have a crash. Who likes diesel clatter anyway? And the acrid smell from the exhaust.
I kind of disagree there as a self-confessed diesel hater. One reason is that modern diesels of course are equipped with a particulate filter which makes the car only suited to longer journeys, i.e. A-road or motorway driving whereas many people are just popping down to the shops or going a mile or two to work or school every day. This is partly the car sales executive's fault for failing to mention this upon purchase and partly due to the government about 10 years ago (wrongly, in my view) pushing diesel powered cars. Plus the emissions even with the DPF are still bad, although the CO2 emissions and therefore the road tax may trick you into thinking otherwise. Namely NOx emissions
Yep. im one of those new drivers who has just been taught in a diesel and told not to apply any gas when pulling away or on a hill start. just bought my first car, a petrol, and stalling like crazy, no idea what im doing. nearly had an accident today after stalling on a busy junction. really dangerous for instructors to be teaching people in diesel cars. basically their doing it because its easier and the student is more likely to get a first time pass which great for their driving school but not so good for the new driver who loses control of their new petrol car and ends up in a collision.
This happened to me. I was taught in a diesel so I would always take off using only the clutch. When I passed I suffered as I would stall every time I would take off in first as I had a 1.2 petrol :(
Same, i stalled my car all the time at the start
I agree! A few years ago when I was learning, my instructor had a diesel car. Of course, after I passed, I had a petrol and I was so confused and frustrated as to why I was stalling all the time. I felt like an awful driver + the added pressure of stalling in situations where they’re waiting for you. I had to google why it was happening!!!
A lot of the time it’s because diesels save more fuel because you don’t need as many revs to get it going. That’s why instructors have diesels
I like how this guy explained everything in every detail. Good work
This video was a great help me on not stall, key point is keeping your heel on the floor and feeling the bite point on the clutch. Great tip
I learned manual and I found matching rev is far more distracting. I think it is better if you get a "feel" for it. Starting off, beginners face problems with the first gear. So when starting off don't let go off your clutch in first gear when accelerating. It will prevent your car from stalling. Then just immediately switch to the second gear. This will cause slight clutch wear, but you will eventually get a hang of it with more experience.
very useful, I am a beginner driver, I stall in the middle of the roundabout, I stall wherever! I practice driving during 5 am, so I can have the road, all by myself..lol..and get panicked if someone is behind me...this video is very helpful..thank you!
The heel thing to feel the biting point is a great help, for me to not stall❤❤
oh damn that kangaroo hopping! For me that was legit the scariest part of driving manual for the first time. Also when I started off I simply could not feel the bite point, probably because I was using my whole leg to push the clutch. XD
Just started with my lessons today I believe I’m gonna pass my test 🙏🙏
the heel advice was pretty useful, thanks a lot!
I never thought about digging my heel in. That makes much more sense for control. Thanks!
Great video! Really helped me as clutch control is one thing i really need to practice. Keep releasing too quickly...🙄
Thank you so much! This just helped me so much and I can now take off in first super smooth instead of doing burnouts!
I passed first time. Your videos have been very helpful. Keep it up bro! ❤
5:18 there's another driving instructor here on youtube conquer driving teaching the exact opposite. To not use your heel on the floor when handling the clutch because it makes you eventually lose grip of the clutch. I do agree with him on this, using heel off the floor enables you to maintain a good grip on the clutch when pulling it down and up repeadtly.
Appreciate the advice. Started learning in a manual but struggled with clutch control. Been doing Automatic for a while now but want to give Manual one last shot as financially would be a better option with my partner already driving a manual car.
Thanks for the video on this, preparing for my test at the end of June. You're videos have been really helpful thanks
No worries, good luck!
Paynosssssss, Love the vids man. Saw on your twitter you were thinking about getting a new car for your 21st? Might be cool to do a vid/series on the process, what to look for, how to negotiate the best deals, pros/cons of buying private or from a dealer - for those that don't know!
Thank you lad!
Great idea, thank you! :D
Liked and subbed. This was the most steight forward video I've watched on this.
Awesome video, very helpful! thank you for making it.
Comments in Every manual related video:

Stalled on my exam and failed. Will try again tomorrow. Wish me luck finding the clutch point on a unknown gasoline car.
Best video to date! Thank you for your tips on not stalling. I didn't know how long to keep the clutch at the biting point after you rev it to 1500rpms, so sometimes I let out the clutch too fast and stall. Thanks again! Sometimes it's one little thing that makes a major difference!
I'm having trouble with this right now
Out of all the vids. Yours was the most helpful. Thank you
Could you do a video about Petrol & Diesel fuel prices & also if there really is a big difference in Supermarket fuels when considering MPG/ Performance/ Best for the engine etc compared to Texaco, BP & Shell plus other fuel suppliers.
keep up the great videos!
Ma Da petrol and diesel pricrs doesn't bother me as my boss pays for it lol and he pays for my tax and insurance. I don't want to leave my job or it would cost me money lol
Top idea! Cheers, appreciate that a lot mate :)
Ma Da great idea!
Can you pls do more of these kind of videos?? thanks
I've got you lad
This simplified it so much! I’ve been trying to figure out my aftermarket clutch in my STI and it has been a mess 😂 this video definitely helped! Thank you. ❤️
Jimins Kookie hope you get that STI sorted bud
Your videos are really helping me man, I've got my driving test next month and I make nervous mistakes when there's traffic building up behind me- stalling, stalling on Hill starts, not pulling away quick enough at some occasions ect. The heel on the floor I'm going to try tomorrow in my mum's Mk 2 clio- got insurance for the week to help me practice :) Thankyou for the useful information in your videos! Drive safe!
Thank you! Good luck on the test :D
Paynos Thankyou, fingers crossed! :D I'm starting to build my confidence up again! It's thanks to your awesome videos
Covered all the problems I have while driving manual. Thank you.
I’m having a lot of problems with stalling at junctions, I did my lessons in a diesel and I drive a petrol. I’ve only been passed a few weeks and I wished I had learnt in a petrol as I’ve never stalled so much in my life😂 people are too impatient which makes it 10 times worse
This was really helpful, thank you!
Thanks for the video it helped renew my desire to learn manual after many failed atempts to learn
Idk why I keep coming back to these videos when I already know how to drive
There's always something new to learn
I tried it and it works
Thanks for making this video. It has been of great help to me.
Great Video!
Question - Is it wearing the clutch if you get the car moving slowly with just the clutch? If so i'm guessing it's atleast less wear than when using both Clutch and Accelerate pedals to get moving?
Passed my exam last week with a diesel car. Now I keep stalling at every signal with my petrol car. I feel so nervous to take my car. VW golf.
Just take your time and use slightly higher revs than you would usually and be slower with the clutch :)
Thank you so much for your videos. They are very helpful
Archana T also when you are at traffic, just put your gear into neutral, take your foot off the clutch and put your hand breaks on. Then when the traffic is about to turn green, put your foot into the clutch, put it into 1st gear, take off the hand break as you are about to move and slowly take your foot off the clutch. Trust me it will prevent you from stalling at the traffic. That's what I did when I kept on stalling at the traffic. It really helped me
@@user-lj6jp8qp7z I wouldn't recommend using hand brake for hill starts, your car can move ever so slightly backward even when hand brake is on while on a hill. What I do is I keep my feet on the brake pedal and have a clutch on the spot when lights are about to turn green, then lift the foot from the brake and give a little gas so I get moving. This method cannot be done with low horsepower cars though
@@mussunmussun3536 then stay in gear 1, put your hand breaks on and keep your foot on the bitting point. Truss me you won't have a problem.
Hi there..i am a filipino.. i love the way u speak english i easily understand while im watching ur videos. Im practicing multicab. I dont know how to used clutch in hills. And the proper turning left and right in any ways.
best video that i found super helpfull and straigth to the point!
I know one thing that helped me out tremendously was parking in the garage. Because now you're attempting to move forward (or in reverse) but with the restrictions of limited road - somewhat like a traffic jam, but no traffic. Once it dawned to me that I never stalled while doing this is when I realized where the biting point was and I haven't stalled since. That combined with anticipation and keeping your distance forces you to "ease" into the speed instead of the habitual "drive when the next car moves".
"don't like saying gas because it sounds American" 😂😂😂 same
Lmao I’m a kangaroo driving down the road
😂
Ty for this video, it helped me out with driving a manual transmission equipped car!
excellent video -- I could relate to everything mentioned as I have personally faced them.. Thanks a lot.. will help me through a life time!
My first time I just made the wheels spin!
"stooling" :P
hah
Lolol mannnn we're all sooo different. Non-squat toilets in Europe and N. America, different acCents, a f***^in different electrical outlet..
...for nearly every country in the world. Lolol i wAs searching the comments for a "stooling" remark :3
seriously :D
I hate when I accidentally stool in my car! XD
Very good video. I teach all of my students the same methods. Excellent
Hi, I'll be in Scotland this summer and am planning to drive up to the Highlands, have any tips for someone already used to a manual, but not used to driving on the left side? Thanks!
My foot isn't long enough for my heal to reach the floor 😂 tiny ass shoe size damn it
move yer seat up bruv
SAME!!!!!
me with my size 3 feet
Count three seconds each second release the clutch gradually on the 3 second you can release it
Hello, thanks for sharing this video. Could you tell me, what'd happen if I gave (much) more gas (as needed optimally actually), while getting to the biting point? Thank you in advance. Greets from Germany.
Thanks mate, great vid
Is there any ways I can practice how to release clutch faster? My instructor said that I should release the clutch not too slow or fast all the way out before using gas pedal. I feel like I missed something here because the car still have a little stalling and I don't know how am I suppose to raise the revs because I have to release the clutch first.
ART trying slowly and smoothly releasing to the biting point then hold it for 2 secs while it moves forward then a steady slow stream of gas while pulling the clutch off completely smoothly
Thanks to you I didn't stall on my 1st driving lesson even my driving instructor was surprised
You’ll be fine honestly, good luck 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼😜
I drove today for the first time as a car fanatic not stalling while driving manual was the best feeling i ever had dad asked me if i have driven before and i hadnt so it was a huge compliment to me
0:45 omg I took a deep breath and thought that noise was my lungs. bad timing
I found I was stalling much more when I was using my trainers with thick soles, my instructor told me to wear flat shoes and tbh found it much easier, do you think it makes a difference?
I find it easier to wear my flat sole shoes driving my instructor car but I did recently use my thick sole trainers not gonna do that again foot kept slipping off pedals
Trainers are softer and has a cushion so it will affect the way you press with your foot. Mine had thick cushion (bball shoes)
Yeah as soon as I wore flat sneakers with thin soles it made my driving/shifting much smoother than wearing my thicker running shoes
And less stalling lol
Same
THANK YOU. YOU JUST MIGHT ACTUALLY HELP ME PASS MY DRIVERS TEST
Thankyou so much for this video!!🙂🙂
When u said kangarooing 😂😂😂
I was taught and passed to just use the clutch, very occasionally used gas so kinda worried about when I get my car lol
Stronger diesel cars can go without gas, but normal petrol cars usually Need throttle
That's no problem. When you can start without gas, starting with gas is super easy.
gas it a bit
don't really have an issue with stalling or hill starts anymore, thanks to buying my own car and practicing during COVID with my dad just waiting for my new test date now! however I had my first official lesson back and was talking to my instrucor about the whole using your heel as an anchor to find the bite point and that I couldn't do it due to my car having a high bite and the lack of flexibility afforded me at my ankle due to a achilles injury. He showed me another downside to it. when you push your foot down and use the heel as the anchor your foot tends to naturally slide meaning every time you do it your foot is slightly further back on the clutch pedal until you barley have any contact and thus have to re-set your foot. Not saying it is viable as it clearly is as load of people do it but I just find it fascinating how many different ways their are to drive and achieve the same outcome. PS your videos have been a great help
These lessons are more than what you can receive from your instructor ,keep watching
I never hover my feet when I got my learners license. My instructor taught me to press and control the clutch without using the accelerator. You can move upto 20km/h just using the clutch. Only use first and second gear. Practiced a lot in a level road or empty parking lot. So many stalls but now I don't feel anything at all when stuck in a traffic jam. Lol
Mu Effe how the fck did u go up to 20km/h with just clutch ??
@@rh7732 yeah fr I was like wtf 😂 i can only go like 5 mph with just the clutch maybe he was downhill
Could you do a video on the diesel scrap scheme
For sure! Thanks for the idea
I'm going for my driving test in 10 days! These are so helpful
I dont like saying Gas i feel like an American .. Daamn 😂
That makes two of us.
@@ChristyKrohne my instructor insists I say gas... 🙄 Its an accelerator!!
